1-10 of 14 results in Special Issues of Cognitive Neuropsychology

Approaches from Mind and Brain

The papers in this volume examine the state of the art in key areas of developmental cognitive neuroscience, focusing on theoretically driven research on cognition and its development. The past decade has seen an increasing number of empirical papers on the relationship between brain and cognitive...

A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology

Functional specialization is a property of biological systems generally. A unifying theme that cuts across all research areas and techniques in the cognitive and brain sciences is whether there is specialization of function at levels of processing that are ‘abstracted away’ from sensory inputs and...

A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology

Detailed computational modelling of reading has been much pursued in the past twenty years, and several specific computational models of visual word recognition and reading aloud have been developed. These models offer computational accounts of many aspects of reading, but all have neglected the...

A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology

The special issue aims at providing a forum for empirical and theoretical research on the integration of perceptual and motor processes in the human mind. Integrative approaches to perception and action have proved fruitful in several areas, including large-scale questions pertaining to the...

A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology

This special issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology presents a series of neuropsychological and neuro-imagining studies investigating the mental lexicon – its functional organization, its access in speech production and comprehension, and its neural underpinnings....

A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology

The papers in the special issue describe computational models and principles that attempt to explain the performance of brain damaged subjects. The models elucidate the cognitive processes that underlie speaking, reading, spelling, and visuospatial planning by implementing hypothesized mechanisms...

A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology

When responding to a suddenly appearing stimulus, we are slower and/or less accurate when the stimulus occurs at the same location of a previous event, as compared to when it appears in a new location. This phenomenon, often called Inhibition of Return (IOR), has fostered a huge amount of research...

A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology

Traditionally, cognitive neuropsychology has focused on selective impairments in individuals who suffered brain damage as adults. However, in recent years, there have been a number of cognitive neuropsychological studies of selective impairments due to developmental deficits. Papers in Selective...

A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology

The papers in this volume consider the role of sensory-motor processes and their neural structures in higher cognitive functions such as visual and motor imagery, iconic memory and temporal judgment. The evidence brought to bear on this issue comes from behavioral studies of brain-damaged subjects...

A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology

To understand mental function, we need to uncover the representations and processes underlying our ability to comprehend and to produce words, sentences,numbers and objects (or pictures of them). The unique contribution of the field of cognitive neuropsychology is the investigation of these...
